Stephanomics

The World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, once a hub of globalism and progressive ideals, is now seeing a shift towards embracing the ideology of US President Donald Trump. With CEOs and other business leaders trying to get in line with his views, many are abandoning previous initiatives around equality, diversity, free trade and climate change. On this week’s episode of Trumponomics, we discuss how and why so many of the global elite at Davos are pressing “unsubscribe” on their previous commitments in favor of (like Trump’s book) the art of dealing with the new White House occupant.In a live taping before an audience at Bloomberg House in Davos, host Stephanie Flanders speaks with Bloomberg News Editor in Chief John Micklethwait, Washington reporter Jenny Leonard and Bloomberg Businessweek Editor Brad Stone. They unpack how the world order has already changed in anticipation of Trump’s return, what the Republican’s style of transactionalism will look like for foreign policy, and what will be the fallout for the global economy and trade policy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bond market investors have been extremely busy so far this year, pushing up the cost of government borrowing—especially in the US but also around the world.  On this, the inaugural episode of Trumponomics, we look at whether recent moves in the bond market are worrying the incoming Trump administration, what effect they will have on a narrowly-split Congress and whether concerns on Capitol Hill may put some of Donald Trump’s agenda at risk.Host Stephanie Flanders, Bloomberg’s head of government and economics, is joined by Anna Wong, chief US economist at Bloomberg Economics (she’s worked at the Federal Reserve and in the first Trump administration), and Bloomberg managing editor for US economic policy Kate Davidson.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
